Flickr redesign has started.... :((

Groan. Actually need to go to the help page to decipher the slideshow controls, which I did. Thank you gentlemen!

And it seems to still be a cheesy animated kind of a slideshow, zooming in and out and panning around in a completely arbitrary manner.

It's as if they have decided that people's pictures can be regarded as some kind of generic interchangeable wallpaper. Now some people may love that idea, of course; but others are very likely to object - perhaps strenuously.

So one has to wonder who thought this such a good idea, as to impose it without giving the option.

Yuck -

and worse still, my Flickr payment renewed itself recently, before I could get round to stopping it....
